Overview
Newburyport is considered to be one of the architectural gems of New England. Its history, both
public and private, is intertwined with and expressed by its structures. Newburyport was incorporated in 1764 when it broke away from the early settlement of Newbury, which was founded in 1635 by English livestock investors. The port supplied England with large timbers for shipbuilding in the 1700s. As international trade grew, many merchants acquired great wealth, which in turn helped build the city. The devastating fire of 1811
prompted building ordinances requiring non-wooden
material, and the beautiful, Federal-period brick
structures in the downtown area are the result. Today Newburyport is an historical destination, the consummation of years of work in architectural preservation, enriched by Yankee, European, and
French-Canadian cultures.
